As filed

Compared to last week, slaughter cows were steady and slaughter bulls were steady to 2.00 lower. Demand was moderate on a moderate supply. The top slaughter bull sold for 216.00/cwt. and the top slaughter cow sold for 179.00/cwt. Replacement cattle outnumbered slaughter animals with the top pair selling for 4100.00/pair and the top bred cow selling for 3700.00/head. Much needed rain last week helped to improve pasture conditions but growth has been slowed by 50 degree nights. The USDA's Cold Storage report, released Friday, reported beef was 1 percent lower than the prior month but remained 2 percent higher than the previous year.

Slaughter cattle

By class and quality grade · $/cwt

Cull cows and bulls are graded, not weight-classed — grade is what moves the money here.
